i've been holding bitcoin since 2017 and it took me at least until 2021 to deeply comprehend the implications of deflationary economics that are based mostly on equity and some short term commercial debt, and the fact that inflationary money isn't based on any scientific first principles

many bitcoiners still don't really think this though, believing bitcoin can only be some static SoV, because to finance things we must be able to deflate the currency for some reasons

my first 4 years of holding were basically larping. things take time - ideas need to propagate
